I though that Cocomelon videos are just dumb videos to keep children distracted, but I didn’t know that they are purposefully designed to keep children hooked. What’s your stance on their videos?

    Children’s entertainment has been doing that for a century. But the tactics are getting more elaborate, planned, strategic.

    It’s been a constant development, and it’s getting worse.

    Pretty horrifying, that video you linked. 4.5 billion views? 7 Billion?

    You always, always limit how much they watch. Never ever let YT autoplay take over.
